If documenting here in this email is ok too,

- General SRUs, if necessary can be provided for the 3 year LTS period, for all 
of the packages in the cinnamon desktop suite, and any Ubuntu Cinnamon related 
package (ubuntucinnamon-artwork, ubuntucinnamon-wallpapers, etc.)
- In the case of packages that affect us outside of those packages, we can 
request Patch Pilots/hop in IRC whenever needed to request a patch.

- Bugs/issues relating to Nemo can also be worked out with Ubuntu Budgie, since 
we both use the same file manager.

I think the main concern other than ’nemo’ for maintenance will be the primary 
‘cinnamon’ source package, since it contains most of the overall DE, tieing in 
everything together along with being the source of the settings and UI and 
whatnot. And from now until early 2027, I don’t plan on leaving any time soon.

I hope this email was helpful.

Hi Sebastian,

I’m very sorry for the late response. This ended up in spam.

We would want to support the LTS for 3 years like other flavors, I cannot 
guarantee I can do five years.

In the event of issues, I can be contacted, or anyone on the 
~ubuntucinnamon-dev launchpad team. Bugs to any cinnamon-* or ubuntucinnamon-* 
package get sent to us.

Support plans, I’ll need to document, granted I just saw this email now - the 
usual cinnamon* packages will need to be supported.

I’ll soon send a follow up email with a wiki page to details.

Sorry again,
-Josh

Hey Joshua,

I didn't see a reply to the previous email asking for more information about 
the Cinnamon LTS request so I'm checking if you correctly received it?

I'm also Ccing Simon now since you listed him as another contact point for the 
flavor

Cheers,
Sébastien

Hey Joshua,

Following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecognizedFlavors we need a bit more 
information

- Do you want to support the LTS for 3 or 5 years?

- Where users should file bugs / who to contact in the event of any issues?

- Could you document (wiki, own website, ...) your support plans? Any key 
upstream packages which will be supported for the LTS period?

As an example of the kind of detail needed, please see a historical example in
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2016-April/002213.html
and a more recent example at 
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2023-November/002786.html

Thanks,

Sébastien

Hello TB,

The Ubuntu Cinnamon team is requesting approval for the upcoming LTS release. 
We have a team of people (~ubuntucinnamon-dev) and we are able to maintain the 
flavor for the support period, including myself.

For primary contact, you can message me (ItzSwirlz), and tsimonq2.
